The government is corrupt. Governments have always been corrupt. Government literally translates to "control of the mind". Politics will not solve todays problems, but love will. It is only through love and compassion can we come together and free ourselves.
You can do your part. Spread love, don't resort to fear-mongering, hate or violence.
OPEN YOUR MIND
PEACE AND LOVE
